neuBrow And neuLash Are Now Available At Your Escape Salon!

You guys, we are so excited about these products!  Introducing neuBrow and neuLash, now available at Your Escape Salon.  These products are far superior to anything else we've come across in our ever-evolving quest for awesome stuff!

We'll start with neuBrow, and boy are the results amazing. Many of us have been over-plucked and/or waxed in the past.  For some, their brows have decided not to come back with the same intensity as before, and some have not grown back at all. Two of us have been using it here at the salon, and have experienced a noticeable difference within a couple of weeks.  The picture below shows results after 45 days.

If you're interested in these products, stop on by the salon!  We know you'll love them as much as we do.

Why can't I make my hair look like it does when my stylist works their magic?

We've all been there.  We go to our stylist, get a great cut and blow dry, and leave looking and feeling like a million bucks.  We try to make the hairstyle last as long as humanly possible before we need to wash it, and once we finally do, it looks nothing like it should.  What's the secret? Well, several factors come into play here:

#1 - Are you using professional products? - Your salon uses and sells professional products for a reason.  They work!  Purchasing the products which your stylist uses on you, is a great place to start. You know that you like them already.

#2 - Are you using good quality tools? - Skimping on your styling tools leads to damage.  Your hair is worth more than that.  Purchasing tools from your salon means that you are ensuring that your at-home styling will be of quality.

#3 - Do you know how to style your own hair, or do you need your stylist to teach you? - If you feel like you can't style your hair at home, ask your stylist to show you how to do it.  Your stylist is a professional after all!  There are many tricks of the trade for all of the different hair types which exist in this world, and your stylist can help you navigate what's right for you.

Your hair care really becomes a team effort between you and your stylist, and considering the 3 factors listed above will ensure the best possible outcome.  Come visit us today!

Poo~Pourri has a new look, but the proprietary (and amazing) formula is still the same!

Poo~Pourri has had a bit of a packaging make-over, but the formula is still the same fantastic and effective product that we have all come to love.  I think the new look is unique and creative!

Living Proof Dry Shampoo Has Arrived!

Great news!  Living Proof has a dry shampoo now, and it is by far the best one we've tried.  Here's the description straight from Living Proof:

"A dry shampoo that cleans beyond ordinary dry shampoos. It’s powered by a Triple-Action Cleaning Technology that makes your hair look, feel and smell clean.

• Absorbs and removes oil, sweat and odor
• Works on all hair colors because it leaves virtually no visible residue or powdery build-up behind
• Time-released fragrance delivers a light, clean scent throughout the day

Application tip: See a little white residue? No worries, that's the cleaning in action as the oil and sweat are absorbed by the dry shampoo. Just wait 30 seconds and brush gently to remove.

For all hair types. All Living Proof products are sulfate-free, silicone-free and oil-free. Safe and formulated for color and chemically treated hair."

Introducing the Living Proof line of hair care products at Your Escape Salon!

Oooo, exciting stuff!  Living Proof has been earning accolades for their innovative hair care line, and we are proud to announce that we will be carrying it at Your Escape Salon!  I have been reading up on the science behind the Living Proof products, and the 2 main innovations are the creation and patenting of the OFPMA and PBAE molecules.

The OFPMA molecule substitutes for heavy silicone and/or oils by creating a light (but bulletproof) shield around every strand of hair, smoothing damaged follicles, and improving the hair over time.

The PBAE molecules are tiny, but powerful in that they create a micropattern of little dots on the hair strands, creating friction so that they appear and feel thicker and more textured.

We are all using the line, and are completely obsessed with the results.  There is nothing else out there in the hair care universe, like these products.  Give them a try - you will not be sorry.

Here's Living Proof's Philosophy straight from their website:

Our Philosophy

We are not a traditional beauty company.
We are more than that.
We believe in rethinking conventional wisdom.
We believe when you can’t find something that works, you invent it.
We believe the answers are found in science.
We believe that beauty and brains are the best formula.
We believe a product should keep its promises.
We believe every day can be a good hair day.
We believe beauty is more than skin deep.
We believe in day-making, bliss-creating, confidence-boosting results.
We believe you are the living proof.

The importance of quality versus quantity in the beauty business, and why we are proud NOT to be a discount salon.

We are not a discount salon.  We never have been, and we never will be.  We believe in quality over quantity.  We believe in providing our clients with a personal, clean, comfortable, and friendly environment.  We believe in using and offering quality, professional products.  We take pride in our work, and do our very best when it comes to your hair, nails and waxing services. We actively participate in continuing education and in-salon learning experiences to keep us current, relevant and knowledgeable in all aspects of the salon. Making sure that we uphold our part of the bargain is not inexpensive, and we view our relationships with our clients as team ventures.  We provide you with the quality that you pay for, and we are proud to offer up our creativity and expertise to help you feel your best!

We are welcoming the Marula Oil line of products by Paul Mitchell to Your Escape Salon!

We are all thrilled with this new addition to our extensive retail offerings!  Marula oil hails from southern and eastern Africa, and is a product of the fruit of the marula tree.  The oil is full of oleic acids, powerful antioxidants and is cold-pressed to preserve the nutrients within.  The hydration, protection and replenishment that results is truly astounding, and the oil is microencapsulated to release the benefits over time.  We here at Your Escape Salon have all tried it, and it was wonderful in all of our hair, which ranges from oily and fine to drier and thick.  That's truly amazing.

Another lovely aspect of this line is the fact that Paul Mitchell and African women's collectives have navigated a fair-trade partnership, which helps create economic sustainability for these women and their families.  I find this an important part of conscientious consumerism, and I am always glad to see companies stepping up and taking the time to forge these relationships.

The products include:
Rare Oil Treatment & Rare Oil Treatment Light (for hair and skin) - These products are instantly    hydrating and can be used as a pre-shampoo enriching treatment, on damp hair before blow-drying, or on the ends of dry hair to help prevent frizzing.

Rare Oil Replenishing Shampoo - This sulfate-free shampoo is an excellent choice for both color treated and natural hair.

Rare Oil Replenishing Conditioner - The conditioner from this line contains all of the goodness of marula oil, providing hydration and nourishment.

Rare Oil Intensive Masque - This masque provides UV protection, hydration and prevents future damage to your hair.  Amazingly, this masque both softens dry and coarse hair, and adds fullness to fine and limp hair.  As a fine-haired gal myself, I love having a masque option for when I feel like my hair needs an extra something, but not a greasy weigh-down!

Do check this line out - you will be so glad that you did!

Thoughts on the importance of purchasing professional products from an authorized salon, rather than purchasing them elsewhere.

Many of us have come across professional name-brand hair, nail, skin and make-up products in places that really shouldn't be carrying them.  Whether you're in a store or browsing online, purchasing these products (which are truly only legally able to be sold in authorized salons and stores) is not a worthwhile investment.  You are running the risk of using a diluted, contaminated, defective, or altogether different product in the guise of the familiar packaging.  Thoughts of what may be lurking in there, or where the bottles were exhumed could keep a person awake at night!  Yuck.

When you purchase a product from your salon, it has come from the manufacturer to the salon.  This is a safe and ethical way to purchase your products, because they are backed by the company. Your stylist, esthetician, and nail technician uses their knowledge to guide you toward the products that will work for your specific needs, and you can rest assured that you are actually getting the quality that you're paying for.

In addition, professional products are often concentrated, and therefore, a little goes a long way.  This saves you money in the end, while not compromising quality.  Stay informed and stay smart, dear clients!  At Your Escape Salon, we proudly carry a wide array of excellent products:

*Paul Mitchell (including the fabulous Forever Blonde, Awapuhi, and Curl lines)

*Moroccanoil

*Keratin Complex

*Malibu

*Footlogix

*The Naked Bee

*Poopourri

Even though it's still spring, it feels like summer here in South Florida!

The hot, humid weather and intense sun are already affecting us here in south Florida.  That means more and more people will be going to the beach and spending time outside.  Being out in those conditions will do a number on your hair whether it's color treated or au naturale!  Paul Mitchell's UVeil Complex Sun line will help to protect and preserve your lovely locks.  The line includes Sun Recovery Hydrating Shampoo (UV protective and sulfate-free), After-Sun Replenishing Masque (UV protective and instantly hydrating) and Sun Sheild Conditioning Spray (UV protective and adds shine and softness).  

In addition to the sun care regimen, Paul Mitchell also offers Shampoo Two, Shampoo Three and Super Charged Moisturizer.  Shampoo Two is a gentle, everyday clarifying shampoo that is great for people who are in chlorine a lot, or have hard water at home.  Shampoo Three is a more intense clarifying shampoo that is great for once a week use to remove chlorine and build up.  It's also a great shampoo to use right before you come in for your color service so that build-up is removed and your hair is in prime condition to receive color.  Super Charged Moisturizer is a once a week conditioning treatment that is great to use after Shampoo Three to hydrate and replenish the clarified hair.  We've got what you need to keep your hair looking fantastic all summer long!

Happy New Year! Need a boost when it comes to the thickness or length of your hair?

Good news!  Our fabulous hairstylist, Jennifer, is an Ultratress Hair Extension Certified Stylist.  Jennifer is a fan of these extensions because she feels that " they hold up well, they look very natural, and they retain their luster as opposed to looking dull or ratty over time."  These top quality extensions are 100% human hair, and the tape is surgical grade as well as hypoallergenic.  Like anything that requires maintenance, these extensions will last from 4 to 12 weeks depending on how well you care for them, and your level of activity.  A consultation with Jennifer is required a week before she applies the extensions so that she can do a color match.  The extensions come in solid or highlighted options.  Check out these before and after photos of Jennifer's work:

Jupiter is chlorinating the water again...joy!

Well, the Town of Jupiter is chlorinating the public water supply for pretty much the whole month of October, and we all know what that means!  Chlorine can make your hair appear greenish, and can make the texture feel like a tangled cotton ball.  Pretty gross.  Luckily, we have a treatment and coordinating products to help restore your hair during and after the chlorination process.  Malibu is a product line out of California and is made in the USA.  Using their swimmer's shampoo and conditioner along with an in-salon swimmer's hair treatment will help prevent chlorine buildup. Stop by to pick up some Malibu, or give us a call at (561)-744-9884 and book your treatment with Victoria or Jennifer. Together we will beat this nastiness!

Meet Victoria Sanchez

We all had that friend growing up that was inherently creative and was the prom-hair-styler and the make-up-applier.  Victoria was and is that girl.  She has had a flair for hair design and color from childhood, and she has made a career of her passion.  She is also proficient in conversational Sign Language, which makes her even cooler!  When she's not beautifying the public at Your Escape Salon, she is working on her Associate's Degree at Palm Beach State College, reading, drawing and painting.   Make an appointment with her today!

Sun protection for your lovely locks

Spring and summer are upon us here in sunny Florida, and as a gal who grew up in the Midwest, I can attest to just how different the sun is down here.  Just walking to your car can render your hair faded and your skin angry.  Paul Mitchell is on it!  His coveted "sun" line with UVeil Complex is here to help our hair not look like a piece of faded driftwood.  The line includes a Sun Recovery Hydrating Shampoo, an After-Sun Repleneshing Masque, and a Sun Sheild Conditioning Spray.

The shampoo is sulfate free, so the entire line is great for colored, dry and damaged hair.  Applying these products before and after sun exposure will help to ensure that the integrity of your hair and color remains.

Stop by and pick the line up today!

What sets our hair and nail salon apart from the rest?

It's a new year and a new beginning!  While we provide top-notch hair and nail services, today's post is focusing on what sets our nail services apart from discount salons.

1. Cleanliness - We are all self proclaimed "germaphobes" and therefore, our cleaning practices go above and beyond the hospital grade level that the state of Florida requires.  When it comes to choosing a salon to take care of your nails, cleanliness and sanitation are of the utmost importance.  We use a new file, buffer and orangewood stick on each and every client.  The solutions in which we soak and disinfect our non-disposable tools as well as the pedicure tubs are not only hospital grade, but also tuberculocidals.  Our tools and pedicure tubs are thoroughly disinfected in between every client.

2. Friendliness - We all take pride in and truly enjoy what we do!  When a person enjoys their profession, it allows for them to take great care of their clients.  We have such an awesome team at Your Escape and that translates to the overall positive (and sometimes hilarious) environment in our salon.

3. Exceptional Products - We don't believe in skimping and when it comes to the products we use, we make sure that we provide the best!  We feel that the Footlogix line of products are the best when it comes to foot care.  The results that we have seen from using their products confirm that the proof really is in the pudding.

We would love to take care of you, so make your hands and feet happy and make an appointment with us today! (561) 744-9884

Not just for blondes!

Paul Mitchell has an exciting new product line called "Forever Blonde", and as a gal with fine hair, I'm here to tell you that it is exceptional.  Each product in the line is infused with keratin (the fibrous protein which serves as the main framework for your hair), which in essence "fills in" the parts of the hair strands that are less than healthy, leaving them shiny and strong.  Lots of hair products are infused with keratin these days, but they are often times heavy.  If you are a blonde or have fine hair, you are all too familiar with looking like you have worked all day on an oil rig if you use a heavy hair product!  While the line helps to brighten and strengthen blonde hair (natural and chemically treated), the quality of the products are beneficial for any person who has damaged or fine hair of any color.  Stop by today, and look for the shiny silver bottles.  We carry the entire line, and we are all fans!
